Because for some reason Acronis Storage Node stores backups in cryptic formats. So I'm probably going to move the storage vault to a VM connected to the storage via iSCSI and have Acronis Management server replicate backups to my DR NAS and not replicate SAN snapshots directly. Though I have noticed anecdotally this seems more reliably if you backup to an Acronis Storage Node instead of just an SMB share (don't really have support for NFS or SFTP on Storage, so performance is unknown). Just.Fucking backup reliably god dammit! The amount of times in a given week when I get alert emails because Acronis has threw a fit because of 'unspecified credentials for backup location' is too damn high! I wasn't much a fan of Veeam's bootable media after using Acronis's. And the Acronis Bootable Media has been invaluable when working with physical endpoints, it earns a permeant place on my Ventoy USB.

And have yet to find a way to understand Acronis's error logs and messages without just doing things and seeing if it works.īut genuinely, when the backup function is working I have yet to be let down by Acronis's restore functionality.when it's worked. It's just a shame it often feels like wrestling an un co-operative husky. Generally I would describe Acronis as being brilliant.when it works. I don't really have any experience managing other backup options in corporate environment, though I did briefly evaluate Veeam a few months until I got access to a perpetual license for unlimited desktops.So costing has obviously tipped my hand for now. (I'm currently wrestling to restore a bunch of shadow IT back to regular IT) I'm using Cyber Backup 12.5 in a small environment (~100 physical endpoints/desktops) and as I understand the larger organisation (Global org) is working with Acronis to deploy Cyber Protect to endpoints across sites in a official capacity.
